We rely heavily on email as the most efficient and accurate way to serve our customers. Please only contact us by PHONE if you are unable to email for some reason, or if your situation (or tech question) is complicated.

We do NOT offer "formal" phone hours, but instead RETURN ALL MESSAGES (usually within 1-2 business days) at a time when we are able to focus on your situation/questions and aren't preoccupied with the flurry of shipments that we are shipping to waiting customers in the busy part of our day. We return calls DURING THE DAY at various times throughout the week as time allows, so please be prepared to wait a few days for us to call you back. If you are phoning for status of a backorder or order in process, you may receive your reply by EMAIL.

Floor Pan Bolt (Pan to Body, Chassis to Mounting Bolt), 8 x 1.25mm is the pointy bolt that you can drive through rust and the floor pan gasket, to bolt your VW Body down tight to the floor pan or chassis. This does not include the washer.

Floor Pan Washer (Pan to Body, Chassis to Mounting Washer), 311-899-131 is the washer the pointy pan bolt goes through, to bolt your VW Body down tight to the floor pan or chassis. This does not include the bolt. The Beetle needs 18 washers to do one full chassis, the Ghia needs 24.

Shock Pad, Body to Axle Beam, Front, All Standard Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Thing, PAIR, 111-899-123A-111-123A sit on top of the axle beam to prevent body flex and vibration. The pan bolts pass thru the washers then these pads, holding the body tight!

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 10mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-117B-113-115A sit between the pan and body, and dampen road vibration. Typically there are 2 thicknesses used, 10mm and 17mm, these are the 10mm. Ideally you'd buy 2 sets of the 10mm thick, and 1 set of the thicker ones. Put the thin ones on all 4s, and IF there is a gap at one of the locations (typically the rear one in the rear wheel well), swap them out for the thicker ones, then bolt it down.

Warning: it's very common for the bolt that holds the body to the chassis to be very seized, be sure to use a lot of penetrating oil and work it back and forth to loosen it, shearing it off is a pain to deal with!

Also, if you have a 1968 and later car with a "clunk" in the back that you can't figure out (you'd changed shocks with no luck), usually the rear pads are compressed, and the body has a gap to the chassis. The body is flexing when you hit a bump, and hitting the pad. Using the thick pad and tightening the bolt down to prevent the flex will solve the problem!

Headlight Wire Tube (Rubber), 1967+ Beetle and Super Beetle Sedan and Convertible, PAIR, 111-941-185C are the critical rubber tube which runs between the front quarter panel, and the headlight bucket on the fender. This keeps the headlight wiring safe and dry! These are often cracked or missing, and water, rocks, sand, and gravel are destroying the delicate headlight wires!

To install these you must use a needle or end of a paperclip, shoved into the headlight bulb end of the plug. This releases the lock tab on the slip on wire end, and allows you to wiggle the wire out of the plug. Do all 3. Fish the wires through the new boot, put the boot into the holes on the body and headlight bucket, then re-install the wire ends into the clip, and plug it back in!

Floor Pan Gasket, Beetle, Super Beetle, Thing, and Ghia, 19' Long, 113-701-605-113-605 seals the mating surfaces/gap between the body and the floor pan. Cushion design allows it to be used in locations other than it's intended use! Water tight seal, and you can finish the seal with some UV Resistant Household silicone.

Headlight Assembly With H4 Headlamp, 1967+ Type 1, 1968-79 Type 2, and 1961-74 Type 3, HELLA, 141-941-041 is the same as our regular one, but Genuine Hella AND COMES WITH A HELLA H4 HALOGEN SEALED BEAM! What a great deal! This is the assembly that bolts the headlight to the car's fender. It allows headlight aim adjustments. These get bent and mangled in accidents.
